Itpo gigantic engineering schemes
force themselves upon the public atten-
ton. One is the proposal to pierce a
railway tunnel through the Pyrenees,
the convention for which has just been
signed by the French and Spanish In
ternational Railway Commission. The
other scheme is for the formation of
a company to construct an interna-
tional railway connecting Europe with
Persia, India, Burmah and China. 1t
appears that Sir r. M. Stephenson, who
has been endeavoripg to arrange with
the Sublime Porte for the commence
ment of the works in Turkey for the
last thirty-four years, considers that
the negotiations are so far advanced as
to warrant the formation Of a company
to work the concession, which he be-
lieves he will eventually obtain. He
proposes to raise, for making the Asia
Minor and Persia sections, a capital of
$50, 900, 600, in 600, 900 shares OF 500
each, "of which 1t is proposed 100000
600 shall be saved by troops labor,
leaving $50, 900. 900 to be subscribed.

TOMATO OMELET.-Put a pint OF
canned or stewed tomatoes into an
open stewpan and let simmer for half
an hour. Season with salt and pepper,
and a tablespoonful OF butter. Beat
six eggs well and add to them a level
teaspoonful Of salt and three table,
spoonfuls OF water. Put a generous
tablespoonful OF butter into a large
omelet-pan or frying-pan, and when it
becomes white and frothy pour the eggs
into 1t. Shake over q very hot fire
until the eggs begin TO thicken and
look creamy; then pour in the hot to-
matoes, spreading them over the mid
die Of the omelet. Roll up quickly,
and, after browning for an instant,
turn out on a warm dish and serve i'm
mediately. Care should be taken to
have a hot fire, for without great heat
the omelet will be hard and heavy
Oysters, cheese, chicken, ham, and,
indeed, nearly all kinds of meat and
fish, may be used in the same way as
tomatoes. When meat or fish is used
IL should first be heated in a little
sauce. Cheese is simply grated and
sprinkled over the omelet just before
the rolling.

a plan recently introduced into Bel
GUM for preserving wood from decay
produced by the atmosphere, water, ETC.,
is to fill the pores with a liquid gutta-
percha, which is said to efectually pre-
serve it from moisture and the action
of the sum-. The process employed con-
sists in exhausting the air from the
pores of the wood, and filing Wsvu
guttapercha solution. In pouring ellie
solution into the pores, the solid guEow
percha Is hquetied by mixing iesir
parafine in proportion Of about rwo-
thirds of guttapercha to one-third of
parafine /; the mixture is then sub
mitted to the action OF heat and the
guttapercha becomes sufficiently liquid
to be easily introduced into the pores
Of the wood. The guttapercha liquefed
by this process hardens in the pores of
the wood as soon as 1t becomes cold.

WASH TIDY.-A handsome tidy that
has the merit of washing well is not
often seen. One recently invented
to this description: Choose
some coarse white crash; look at il
carefully to see that it as evenly woven
as possible, then pull out threads until
it is barred off, and stitches may be
counted as in canvas; work a border on
each end and then begin at II corner
and work in diagonal lines, in common
cross-stltch, all over the crash. This
is to be done with crewel, in four colors
red, green, yellow and black. The
eAds of the crash should be fringed
before anything else is done. The tidy
may be put smoothly over a chair-back
or made so long that it a be tied in a
graceful knot in the center. This is Il
pretty way also In which to ornament
the crash sideboard cover.
